Suppose at the start of the Korean War, MacArthur suffers a heart attack. MacArthur was already a heavy smoker, and I believe also a heavy drinker (too much drinking can raise blood pressure). Suppose MacArthur also had poor eating habits, though this might not be necessary.
Anyway, in the early days of the Korean War, MacArthur suffers a heart attack. In the 1950s, there was no treatment for a heart attack, and all they could do was put you in bed and shoot you up with morphine while your body shut down. So MacArthur dies in July 1950, before he can really take command in Korea.
Matthew Ridgeway is immediately given command. How does Ridgway handle Korea up to the point where MacArthur would have been relieved, and what would the course of the war be with Ridgeway in command from the very beginning?
I'm especially interested in how the Inchon landings would go under Ridgeway's command.
